Bug#231819: Debian install

2004-06-03 Thread Jim Bray
I tried this on the old Toshiba. It still hangs in the usual place, at 
'Starting PC Card Services', with
a 2.4 kernel. However, it works fine with linux26,  making it past two 
instances 'Starting etc.'

Same thing with -beta2. Tried various debugging options and 'expert'
method, but can't get any more info.
Note: Mandrake hangs when attempting to start pcmcia system on this
thing. Only known problem (just got it). Laptop does have a built-in
floppy.
   

Jim, can you please try the new image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and report if that
still hangs.  If it does, can you boot with:
  linux hw-detect/pcmcia=false
This will turn PCMCIA detection off.
Can you test the image above and report if it works?

Martin,
 I have burned a copy of this and will try it on the Toshiba before long.
I can report that I needed to do an install on my old k6-2 box, and
the install candidate worked fine, with clear improvements since the
last time I tried. I used the linux26 method.
